How To Make Crockpot Chicken Taco Meat
Mix the salsa, chopped onion and seasoning in the bowl of your slow cooker, then place the chicken on top of this mixture, and then place the remaining ingredients on top of the chicken.
How long to cook?
Chicken breasts typically cook in 6-7 hours on low heat or 3-4 hours on high. Of course, this time may vary depending on your slow cooker and how full it is.
After the chicken is cooked I take the chicken out, put it on a cutting board and use two forks to break it up into smaller pieces, then put everything back into the slow cooker and mix thoroughly.
After that, you can pull out the tacos and put on a good portion of chicken and feed the whole family a delicious dinner.
Storage and Freezing
- Storage – Store chicken in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezing – if placed in an airtight container it can be stored for up to 3 months, if you need to defrost it, place in the refrigerator overnight or microwave and stir frequently
